Agreements worth a total of 5.6 billion yuan ($890 million) were signed during the recently concluded Beijing Design Week, which highlighted copyright protection for design works.

Organizers teamed with Beijing Customs, the China Copyright Protection Center and the National Cultural Trade Center to offer accreditation for foreign brands in a bid to boost overseas firms' confidence in the Chinese market.

The state-of-the-art cloud computing technology for design products developed by Beijing Gehua Design Co on display at the event showed how designers can permanently store first-hand information to better protect intellectual property rights.
